I commend you on your welcoming criticism. I too like to think that, while I'm blunt, I can take criticism myself and welcome it as well. I'm wondering though where you are disagreeing with me exactly? I said criticism is bad for the one giving it, not the one receiving it. I'll share one personal anecdote: a new coworker of mine came to the U.S. for the first time and his English was terrible. He specifically asked me to correct his bad English whenever possible. I was wary of such a request at first, but started doing it nevertheless. You know how he paid me back for my efforts? He tried to score some sympathy by complaining to others about my nagging him about his English. F that.
